Managing Global Entitlements
You can use lmvutil command options to create, modify, and list global entitlements in a Cloud Pod
Architecture environment. Global entitlements link users to desktops, regardless of where the desktops are
located in the pod federation. They also determine how the Cloud Pod Architecture feature allocates
desktops to those users.
n
Creating a Global Entitlement on page 52
You can use the lmvutil command with the --createGlobalEntitlement to create a global
entitlement. A global entitlement links together users and desktops, regardless of where the desktops
are located in the pod federation. Global entitlements also include policies that determine how the
Cloud Pod Architecture feature allocates desktops to those users.
n
Modifying a Global Entitlement on page 54
You can use the lmvutil command with the --updateGlobalEntitlement option to modify the
scope, description, and other attributes of a global entitlement.
n
Deleting a Global Entitlement on page 55
You can use the lmvutil command with the --deleteGlobalEntitlement option to delete a global
entitlement.
n
Adding a Desktop Pool to a Global Entitlement on page 56
You can use the lmvutil command with the --addPoolAssociation option to add a desktop pool to
a global entitlement.
n
Removing a Desktop Pool From a Global Entitlement on page 56
You can use the lmvutil command with the --removePoolAssociation option to remove a desktop
pool from a global entitlement.
n
Adding a User or Group to a Global Entitlement on page 57
You can use the lmvutil command with the --addUserEntitlement or --addGroupEntitlement
option to add a user or group to a global entitlement.
n
Removing a User or Group From a Global Entitlement on page 58
You can use the lmvutil command with the --removeUserEntitlement or
--removeGroupEntitlement option to remove a user or group from a global entitlement.
Creating a Global Entitlement
You can use the lmvutil command with the --createGlobalEntitlement to create a global entitlement. A
global entitlement links together users and desktops, regardless of where the desktops are located in the pod
federation. Global entitlements also include policies that determine how the Cloud Pod Architecture feature
allocates desktops to those users.
Syntax
lmvutil --createGlobalEntitlement -entitlementName name --scope scope
{--isDedicated | --isFloating} [--description text] [--disabled]
[--fromHome] [--multipleSessionAutoClean] [--requireHomeSite] [--defaultProtocol value]
[--preventProtocolOverride] [--allowReset]
Usage Notes
You can use this command on any View Connection Server instance in a pod federation. View stores new
data in the Global Data Layer and replicates that data in all pods in the pod federation.
